Paph. Sander's Pride Progression

[Heather]

Thanks guys!
that date stamp is SO important, huh?

I'm still holding out hope. I have a few phrags I could enter but this is the important thing in my collection doing something now.

Still, just blooming a nice sand. hybrid - my first - is pretty cool. I'm proud, even if I cannot enter it in a show. Two more weeks and I've got a meeting to go to so....but show would be better.

Very nice

The third bud has just started to crack. I'm happy with the blooming so far but look forward to seeing it in full bloom. I'm glad the petal stance is as open as it is from the stonei influence, I really was hoping for that. Next opportunity to show it off is Nov. 12.

My apologies for the crummy photo, I didn't feel like moving the plant too much.

It's about a 24" leafspan and has this one growth and a new start.

Looks great Heather! I love those petals

PS - You'll get better detail in the flowers in your photos if you take the photo against a neutral colored or dark backdrop... the white wall will tend to give you a silhouette effect when you don't want it! Might be worth experimenting with tacking up a darker piece of cloth behind it, for such an awesome plant

:drool: hey Heather if you don't want this SP you have my address
